Re: Accounting Roadmap V9

Agree with Lionel. Budget is important for an organisation. It is to control how your business should go. It is a plan of finance.

+1 for Reconciliation, reduce complication of Tax setting, very good for restart sequence for new FY, tax is workable on Expense, More flexible on Reporting with pdf and excel are optional and last one menu items is NICE!

However, removing account hierarchy is incomprehensible. Account hierarchy is sort of like basic of accounting in part of presentation for management assertion, unless Odoo will have other friendly feature to support CFO to create their own financial report template freely. Hopefully, new account type and reporting in this roadmap will help.

I'm worried because our company is into manufacturing, and our
accounting is so simple that we didn't even bother making it in
Odoo - EBP compta does the job for ~200€.
BUT analytics and budgets are major features for us, the only ones
we'll really use in Odoo's accounting.
So please, by all means do improve whatever you want on
accounting, but do NOT remove any more existing features.

Omg. You are taking your model from a 1-10 user
accounting system with no concept of stock, no concept of
anglosaxon, not even a concept of a sales order really and
literally quoting their CEO verbatim while inserting screenshots
of their product.

Dont get me wrong, i like xero, i use xero, i have
written integrations between xero and openerp, in fact i own
shares in xero, but this is either crazy or odoo is abandoning
anybody subject to anything but a small business reporting
standard.

I feel sorry for partners. I think you just got
screwed but at least the direction is clear early.
